Ivanka says she believes president about misconduct allegations

Ivanka Trump insists her father’s telling the truth when he’s denied the multiple sexual misconduct allegations against him over the decades.

“I believe my father, I know my father,” the first daughter and senior adviser to President Trump told NBC News in an interview that aired Monday. “I think I have that right as a daughter to believe my father.”

Several women have accused the President of various forms of misconduct, oftentimes in social settings.

The former reality TV star has forcefully denied the claims — including one that he forced himself on women.

Trump, who joined the White House a few months after the President was sworn in, said it’s not fair to ask her about the claims against her dad.

“I think it’s a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he’s affirmatively stated there’s no truth to it,” Trump said from South Korea this weekend, where she attended the closing ceremony for the Winter Olympics.

Last week, the President lambasted Rachel Crooks, who recently told the Washington Post he forcibly kissed her in 2006 near a Trump Tower elevator bank.

The commander-in-chief tweeted that the story couldn’t be true, partially because he wouldn’t do such a thing with rolling security cameras all around him.

The White House has also categorically denied Trump’s accusers of fabricating their stories.

But U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley broke with that line in December, saying the President’s accusers “should be heard.”
